A trio of city council members lashed out yesterday at Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to fund part of the Javits Convention Center expansion with money they say is meant to build affordable housing, calling it “Robin Hood in reverse.”

Bloomberg last week proposed putting $350 million in surplus generated by Battery Park City toward the $2.8 billion plan to expand the Javits Center and build a 75,000-seat arena for the New York Jets on the West Side.

City Councilman Alan Gerson, who represents lower Manhattan, said $600 million of surplus from Battery Park City is legally committed to create low- and moderate-income housing.

“We are demanding that the mayor retract this proposal. We are willing to chalk it up to well-intentioned but misguided thinking,” said Gerson, joined by council members Christine Quinn and David Yasky.

Mayoral spokesman Jordan Barowitz said the city has more than lived up to its obligation to fund affordable housing, committing about $5 billion to the endeavor since 1994.
